KSS Freizeitpark Schaffhausen — Wellnesspark

The Wellness Park forms part of the KSS Leisure Park on Breitenaustrasse, which is run by the Schaffhausen Artificial Ice Rink and Swimming Pool Co-operative: the artificial ice rink and outdoor pool opened in 1965, and the indoor pool was added in 1972. The sauna area has its own entrance from outside and is also directly connected to the indoor swimming pool.

At its heart lies the garden park: the log cabin sauna, built from wooden planks, has its fireplace in the centre of the room; visitors can cool off in the swimming pond, and from the sun terrace the view sweeps across the water into the garden. Inside, the ‘Room of Silence’ invites you to retreat — over 1,500 fibre-optic cables stretch across the ceiling like a delicate web of light. Soups, tea and free apples are available right in the wellness area.

Admission includes access to the indoor pool with its 33 °C outdoor pool; in summer, the outdoor pool is also included. Bathrobes and towels can be hired at the ticket office; massages, Ayurvedic treatments and pedicures are available on-site by appointment. Occasionally, a midnight sauna session (8 pm–1 am) is held, featuring themed infusions and a rich aperitif. A new building with a new wellness facility was approved by voters in 2023 — the current facility will remain in operation until completion.
